Chorus.

Welded in wars fierce flame,
Forged on the heart of fame,
The sacred Constitution was ordained;
Tried in the fire of time,
Tempered in woe sublime.
An age has passed and left ityet unstain-
God grant its glories still may shine
While ages fade forgotten in times slow
decline.
Chorus.
Honor the few who shared
Freedoms first fight and dared
To face wars desperate tide at the full
flood;
Who fell on hard-won ground,
And into Freedoms wound
Poured the sweet balsam of their brave
hearts blood.
They fell, but O'er their glorious grave
Floats free the flag they died to save.
In radiance heavenly fair
Floats on the peaceful air
That flag that never stopped from vie
tOry's pride:
Those stars that softly CLEAN,
Those stripes that DER us stream,
In wars grand agony was sanctified;
A hoy standard pure and free,
To light the home Of peace or blaze in
victory.
Chorus.
Father, Whose mighty power
Shields us through life's short hour
To Thee we pray; bless us and keep US
free;
All that is past forgive,
Teach us henceforth to live
That through our country we may honor
Thee,
And when this mortal life shall cease,
Take Thou at last our souls to Thine eter-
nal peace.

Hail! Freedom Thy bright crestl
And cleaning shield thrice blest.
Mirror the glories of a world thine own;

Peace, daughter of strife sublime,
Abide with us till strife be lost in endless

Her one hand seals with gold
The portals of nights fold,
Her other the broad gates of dawn unbars;
Ger silent wastes of SHOWS
Growing her lofty brows,
CLEANS higher her diadem of Northern
stars;
While clothed in garlands of warm flowers
Round Freedoms feet the South her wealth
of beauty showers.
Chorus.
Sweet is the toll of peace!
Sweet the years rich increase
To loyal men who lived by Freedoms

And in wars fierce alarms
God gives stout hearts and arms
To Freemen sworn to save q rightful

Fear none, trust God, maintain the right,
And triumph in unbrOken Unions peer

Ststuro of tho Race

Mr.. Stanley, writing to Nature from
South Norwood, England, says: 81

the human race in the past, as
il appears to me frora such data
SIS have been able to collect
that the human race has continuously
increased IN average stature. | have
measured great many Roman collins,
where | happened to come across them,
and my average shows that the Roman
could not have greatly exceeded five feet
five inches. In taking measurements O.
ancient armor fiGd that the English aris-
tocracy have decidedly increased in aver
age height within 500 years Fer paper l
read before our local society. l meas
ured twenty five mummies in the British
Museum as nearly IS l could through the
cases, making estimate for wrapping, and
l found the average height OF males 81
inches, females SO inches. The mummy of
the celebrated Cleopatra measures about
81 inches, about the height of the present
average European girl of 10. The most
ancient mummy of an Egyptian king yet

Englishmen Eat Horse flesh
London TELEGRAPH.


Mr.. Ernest Bsggallay, sitting yester-
day afternoon at West Ham Police court,
gave his decision in the case of Horn, tie
chief sanitary inspector Of West Ham,
against Barber, wherein the point was
raised whether q person holding & kpsck-
e1's license and Strengthening horses, the
flesh of which was used for human food,
should not also hold 8 slaughter house
license. Mr.. B:ggallay, in giving his de-
cision, first dealt with case which had
been twice adjourned, in which II was
stated that the defendant had on his
premises q COW aud bull dressed for
human food, and in that case he decided
that it was not provided that the
animals we're killed on the premises, ard
he dismissed the summons with costs.
On the other case his Worship said that
after hearing all tie evidence he found il
proved that during April and May horses
were constantly slaughtered on the de,
fendant's premises. In some cases the
horse flesh was boiled down and sold as
CATS meat, but in most cases, and par
ticularly on April 20, the carcesses OF the
horses SO killed were dressed and sold to
butchers snd sausage makers In different
parts Of London for human food.

A Brother and Sister in Court A LUna cy
Special to the Gazette
MERIDIAN, TN, Sept. 22.-The Dis
trict court YVES engaged till late hour
last night in trying Joe McCormic, boy
of thirteen. The boy was charged with
stealing horse and tive saddles. Tie
defendant and his little sister of some
four years made striking picture in the
criminal box. The little girl sat quietly
by, watching the jury, the lawyers and
the armed officers as they moved about
the room. When the argument began,
just after the old decrepit mother
had testified, the girl fell asleep in
the arms OF the erring brother.
This was no studied scene to get the sym
patty OF the jury, for the old mother was
too weak and decrepit to act as nurse,
and this was the last refuge of the little
waif.
The court will be employed this even
| ing in trying lunscy case. AS usual, the
lunatic is charged with felony ahd bids

lecturer whose words were reported
in Lie and Hope spoke the other day as
fellows:
One of the principal reasons why so
many healthy girls become Invalid women
is owing 10 the mistaken ideas and re-
straiNt Of the mother. When the girl is
young she comps and pisys and tumbles
about the floor without restraint, and is
healthy. Ia most instances much too
soon iong dresses are PUT on, and the girl
is put under double restraint, snd !s
expected to at once become c
lady. Hsmpered by her clothing,
which prevents the Tree action OF the
muscles Of The body, or if she INDUCES in
any childish plays, or is seen by the
mother il any but an upright position,
she is told that such conduct is not LADY
like and only suitable for boys. ShC soon
begins to think she must not bend her
body and must Keep constantly in 81 up
| hight position, except when asleep. The
result Of this teaching is the supports Of
the internal organs are weakened. The
muscles Of the back not being used he
come weak sad relaxed, and she
stoops forwards Immediately stsys
are provided TO taAe the place
OF the muscles. The shoulders begin
TO droop forward; shoulder braces are a.
once put On to supply the place Of the
muscles provided Dy nature to hold them
in their proper position. Thus relieved
from all action they soon become relaxed
and useless. Thus nature is supplsnted
by art until the poor girl becomes more
composition of steel, whalebone and
rubber than of muscle, flesh and blood
By this time ner mental education is
finished, and the proud mother is enabled
to introduce to the world an accompl shed
lady, and al the same time 8 weak, de-
/ pendent, invalid woman.

Waco, TEX, Sept. 3O.-Last Friday night about
O'Clock Tom Barnville entered the barber shop OF
stephen Drago. two doors above the Examiner
Office and quarrel ensued between him and the
barber who was at the time shaving customer
named Geo. Bowden. IL seems that Barnville had
shaved at the shop before and Ia making change
Drago gave him "A ticket emitting him or bearer 10
a shave. This ticket Barnville gave 10 his negro
porter, who presented IL 10 Drago aud demanded
a shave. Drago replied that ne was running a
white mans shop aud did not shave negro. The
porter told Barnville that the ticket was not re-
ceved, and also that Drago had said In refusing &c
that Barnyile was a scoundrei. Barnville repaired
TO the shop and, approaching Drago as he was at
work on Bowdeh. accosted hin, asking II he had
said he was a scoundreL
That's what SAID replied Drago.
"Iill be back Ia minute" said Barnville, ''ana
He went out, and returned in a few minutes
and, as Bowdon testified on the inquest, drew a
pistol and attempted 10 shoot Drlgo who dodgs,d
behind the chair In which the witness WAS
Ginning. The witness was terrified, and sat still
until after Drago had passed round the chair
and had seized hold Of Barnyille; then lac broke
for the door.
Two witnesses who were on the sidewalk
testified TO the same line OF facts, and said
further that Drago dlsarmed Barnville and then
shot him.
Bin Davis, colored barber, who had formerly
worked for Drago, was also present on the side
walk, and Testified That BarnVllle had started 10
go out when Drago stepped up 10 him, placed a
hand on his shoulder, turned him around and shot
him. He TESTIFIED that OF the TWO pistols which

which had done the work was the one Drago had
taken from Barnville In the struggle.
Mrs. Marie Rosenfield testified that she saw the

three times at Drago Barny1lle attacked Drago
first; the latter ordered hun out but he refusal 10

that deceased did not have pistol.
This finished the evidence to-day before the cor
